-.SH NAME
-fax2ps \- convert a
-.SM TIFF
-facsimile to compressed \*(Ps\(tm
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.B fax2ps
-[
-.I options
-] [
-.I file ...\&
-]
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.I fax2ps
-reads one or more
-.SM TIFF
-facsimile image files and prints a compressed form of
-\*(Ps on the standard output that is suitable for printing.
-.PP
-By default, each page is scaled to reflect the
-image dimensions and resolutions stored in the file.
-The
-.B \-x
-and
-.B \-y
-options can be used to specify the horizontal and vertical
-image resolutions (lines/inch), respectively.
-If the
-.B \-S
-option is specified, each page is scaled to fill an output page.
-The default output page is 8.5 by 11 inches.
-Alternate page dimensions can be specified in inches with the
-.B \-W
-and
-.B \-H
-options.
-.PP
-By default
-.I fax2ps
-generates \*(Ps for all pages in the file.
-The
-.B \-p
-option can be used to select one or more pages from
-a multi-page document.
-.PP
-.I fax2ps
-generates a compressed form of \*(Ps that is
-optimized for sending pages of text to a \*(Ps
-printer attached to a host through a low-speed link (such
-as a serial line).
-Each output page is filled with white and then only
-the black areas are drawn.
-The \*(Ps specification of the black drawing operations
-is optimized by using a special font that encodes the
-move-draw operations required to fill
-the black regions on the page.
-This compression scheme typically results in a substantially
-reduced \*(Ps description, relative to the straightforward
-imaging of the page with a \*(Ps
-.I image
-operator.
-This algorithm can, however, be ineffective
-for continuous-tone and white-on-black images.
-For these images, it sometimes is more efficient to send
-the raster bitmap image directly; see
-.BR tiff2ps (1).
-.SH OPTIONS
-.TP 10
-.BI \-p " number"
-Print only the indicated page.
-Multiple pages may be printed by specifying
-this option more than once.
-.TP 10
-.BI \-x " resolution"
-Use
-.I resolution
-as the horizontal resolution, in dots/inch, of the image data.
-By default this value is taken from the file.
-.TP 10
-.BI \-y " resolution"
-Use
-.I resolution
-as the vertical resolution, in lines/inch, of the image data.
-By default this value is taken from the file.
-.TP 10
-.B \-S
-Scale each page of image data to fill the output page dimensions.
-By default images are presented according to the dimension
-information recorded in the
-.SM TIFF
-file.
-.TP 10
-.BI \-W " width"
-Use
-.I width
-as the width, in inches, of the output page.
-.TP 10
-.BI \-H " height"
-Use
-.I height
-as the height, in inches, of the output page.
-.SH DIAGNOSTICS
-Some messages about malformed
-.SM TIFF
-images come from the
-.SM TIFF
-library.
-.PP
-Various messages about badly formatted facsimile images
-may be generated due to transmission errors in received
-facsimile.
-.I fax2ps
-attempts to recover from such data errors by resynchronizing
-decoding at the end of the current scanline.
-This can result in long horizontal black lines in the resultant
-\*(Ps image.
-.SH NOTES
-If the destination printer supports \*(Ps Level II then
-it is always faster to just send the encoded bitmap generated
-by the
-.BR tiff2ps (1)
-program.
-.SH BUGS
-.I fax2ps
-should probably figure out when it is doing a poor
-job of compressing the output and just generate
-\*(Ps to image the bitmap raster instead.
